Polar Explorations is a deep immersive look behind the curtain of Sebastian’s seminal expeditions across the Earth’s biggest bodies of ice. It chronicles his 2009 North Pole expedition on skis with partner Keith Heger, which was featured in the acclaimed film Into the Cold (2011). The book also covers Sebastian and partner Eric McNair-Landry’s record setting crossing of the Greenland ice sheet from South to North on skis and kites, a distance of 2300km. Finally, it takes a deep look at Antarctica’s immense desert which Sebastian crossed again with McNair-Landry, an adjusted distance of over 4,000 kilometers. The men opened a new root linking the East coast to the West cost via the Pole of Inaccessibility and the South Pole, visiting areas that had never, before theirs, seen a human footprint.
Polar Explorations is the winner of the 2022 Independent Book Publisher Book of the Year (Nature).
